Ezan France Antique Opalescent Art Deco 1930s Fleur 7-3/4″ Glass Bowl Signed Rare

by

Glass BowlWe’re delighted to be offering one of the prettiest opalescent glass antique patterns I’ve ever seen.

  • Signed Ezan, France circa 1920’s to 1930’s Art Deco period, with glorious rich coloring.
  • Bowl measures 7-3/4″ x 2-7/8″
  • Pristine condition, has been carefully stored for nearly 90 years!
  • Shown under regular lighting on a black velvet background; positively gleams.
  • No chips, cracks, repairs, flea bites – just ready for you to admire. Glass Bowl 2

From the internet research: “It cannot be ruled out that Ezan glass was produced at Choisy-le-Roi, where the finest quality of French opalescent glass of its era was produced. It only takes one look at the opalescent glass by Ezan, to know that it is a glass of undeniable quality and is `up there’ with the likes of Etling, Verlys, and even Lalique.”
Ezan was best known for their production of Art Deco opal table lamps, sconces and chandeliers, but offered very few bowl patterns. Our “Fleur” bowl pattern is one of the harder to find designs, making it even more collectible.  Ezan France Antique Opalescent Art Deco.  This and other collectibles Opalescent Glass can be found in our eBay Store Connectibles.
